Manual Park Brakes

Your power chair is equipped with a manual park brake mounted on each drive wheel. The manual park brakes work in

conjunction with the electromagnetic brakes to help prevent your power chairs wheels from moving when your power

chair is parked. After you release the joystick and your wheels are completely stopped, push the manual park brake lever

down to engage it. See figure 10. To disengage the manual park brake, pull the manual park brake lever up. See figure 11.

WARNING! Do not attempt to use either manual park brake lever to stop your power chair. Serious

injury may result.
